Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia type 1 (ADCA1) is a clinical and genetic heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder which leads to progressive cerebellar ataxia. One defective gene responsible for the disease was first localised to 6p (SCA1, spinocerebellar ataxia type 1) and the mutation has been more recently characterised. We have analysed the CAG-repeat mutation responsible for the SCA1 phenotype in a...
